Reader Mabarosi Responds:
When I read Amanda's story I was completely shocked. This
reminds me of a girl I know at school, but I won't go into
that.
Please Talk to an Adult You Trust
I am so angry at these guys for treating you like shit
(sorry about the language), and I'm sad and scared for Amanda.
PLEASE girl, please talk to an adult you trust: police,
school counsellor, teacher, your doctor, whoever, and PLEASE
stop this self-multilating behavior. I'm afraid that this
behavior is a reaction to something worse.
I don't know why you've been sleeping with guys since you
were 13 (maybe longer? You didn't say, just that you've
been having sex with Chris for two years, but maybe there's
others).
Happy people don't let themselves get into these situations:
you KNOW it's wrong. Yet although Chris treats you badly,
you feel like you love him? I'm sorry, but that doesn't
sound right. Amanda, you need help. Please save yourself,
and stop associating with people who don't respect and care
for you.
